Error while running NR Intercell Interference Model

Dear All,

Thanks in advance. Do I need to include any package?

Hi Shouvik,

I see that you are trying to run the example 'NR Intercell Interference Modeling' but are facing an issue with the 'nrGNB' function.

To run the example, you need to have the following toolboxes and add-ons installed in your MATLAB:

1. Communication Toolbox
2. DSP System Toolbox
3. Signal Processing Toolbox
4. 5G Toolbox
5. Communications Toolbox Wireless Network Simulation Library.

Also, make sure that you are using MATLAB R2023a or a later release, as 'nrGNB' is supported from the R2023a release onwards.

I also observe that you are not using the entire code present in the example, which might lead to errors with undefined variables or functions. Please make sure that you run the entire code present in the example.

Alternatively, to open the example as a live script, you can run the following command in the MATLAB command window:

openExample('5g/NRIntercellInterferenceModelingExample')

For more information on the above mentioned topics, you can refer to the following documentation links:

For the example: https://www.mathworks.com/help/5g/ug/nr-intercell-interference-modelling.html

For 'nrGNB' function: https://www.mathworks.com/help/5g/ref/nrgnb.html

Hope this helps!

Dear Bhanu,

Thanks for the quick response. I too realised that 5G toolbox is not part of the trial software.
